Q in progress

My fish came down with the typical spots, so I've got them in quarantine with copper for the next 14 days. I plan on another 4 weeks of quarantine after that.

The fish are all doing well at this point. No visible white spots can be seen.

While I am doing all this, should I plan on doing any other treatments? I don't see any other problems.

You mean assuming no other symptoms? I don't.

Some people will routinely treat all wild-caught clownfish with a formalin bath to knock out Brooklynella.

Some will also treat with metronizadole and praziquatel to kill off any internal parasites.

Stephen Pro has recommended a freshwater dip for all new acquisitions before they are placed in the quarantine tank.

At this point, I would not do the FW dip. Anything that would respond to the dip would have been dealt with via the copper treatment.

Yesterday, I noticed one of the clowfish has a mark on it. the mark isn't ich, but it could be a cut or something. I wish I had a picture of it.
